Athasian bard
(BASE CLASS)

The scorched world of Athas invented a new kind of assassins: its bards ! Of course, the latter do not considered themselves like this and most of them only want to live from their artistic skills and in telling story. But to survive in this hard land, money is needed, and to have money, a noble must be interested in you. Athasian bards are send in the important parties to distract the noble ones from another house, and sometimes to poison the meals of the latter between two songs. As a result, athasian bards are very different from the ones found everywhere else in the multiverse. They do not use magic, which is prohibited in Athas and they need to learn all the skills of a thief. Thus, some bards could easily be qualified of master assassins in an other part of the multivers. Little by little, they become experts in poison, in order to weaken or even kill the enemies of the noble house which employs them.
